leader working in private practice in Highgate. While her original
psychotherapy training was in Gestalt she is a firm supporter of an
integrated approach and teaches skills and Humanistic theory for the
1st year of the counselling diploma.

Claire’s research interests are in human relationships and research
methods that challenge the traditional hierarchy of researcher and
subject. Her doctoral project ‘Narratives of Mothers in Stepfamily
Situations’ combined a creative approach with the demands of academic
rigour. For this project she included personal material alongside
that of other participants in an eclectic methodology that drew from
narrative, phenomenological and heuristic methodologies. In the process
of this she gained knowledge and experience of many qualitative methods,
including grounded theory, action research and cooperative enquiry.

Claire sees conducting a research project as both a means of gaining
knowledge and a developmental heuristic journey for the researcher.
As a supervisor she attends to the interplay between the person of
the researcher, the research area and the data arising from the investigation.
She will help supervisees to identify a pertinent and manageable research
area and their personal connection with it, to be aware of their biases
and strengths within the work and to write up in a clear and accessible
manner.
